The original idea of this set, which I started back in 2017, is to look at Simon and Garfunkel's career from their first recordings to now, all of their output - as if they never broke up. it makes some sense, they used the same producer, same musicians and I suspect they knew pretty well what the other was doing. It'd be impossible not to. Looking at it now, I think their '81 reunion at Central Park serves as a natural break and would also allow me to finally finish this project.
The first volume contains all of their pre-fame singles, re-compiled from the Purple Chick set. It's nice to have these, but I believe few will be listening to this one often. The good news is on this volume, you'll have all of the pre-S&G 45s in one place.
Volume two is all of their US singles in mono, as compiled by Prof. Stoned. All I did was re-tag them all with original labels and sleeves. Thanks Prof!
The last two volumes are the most interesting: all of their single a-sides from 1972-80 along with selected b-sides and other treats. I've spun it and I'm (mostly) pleased with the way it turned out. A few performances from The Concert At Central Park finishes it all up. It's as if they never split!
All @ 320 and tagged with original sleeves/labels

Thanks very much for this, as always!
My father was a fisherman, my mama was a fisherman's friend.
Paul wrote some of the best lyrics around and Art sounds like a angel.
Thanks for this.
Fantastic. Thanks!
Thank you for all the time and research that goes into every post you do! I love the music and I always learn so much from your commentaries!
Kudos sir on not "A" but "THE" most excellent job!
Your hard work, great care and attention to detail is greatly appreciated!
Oh man, sooooo excited to see this! A thousand thank yous!!!
Yet another great piece of work you have done for us, much appreciated, Jay
Fantastic.... as allways.
Thanks.
Superb job, carefully done, detailed and presented. So very generous, too. Jimi or Bob's researches were astounding. Regardless of the subject matter, though, a great work of love. Thank you very much, Blank Frank. Best regards. Miguel
One of my all-time favorite acts...thank you...
Really great work, as usual!
Amaaaazing - I have all of their recordings on vinyl AND cd, and about 15 45 singles from either or both, but even with that, there's a lot I didn't have - thank you SO much!!
Thanks - i look forward to listening to this set.
Cheers,
Mike M
thank you 4 this Aussie
Thank you for this kindly and deep look at S&G... including your selection of a good and ideal place to gently close the door on this exceptional duo.
Keep up the great work!
excellent !
Is there a little mistery about track #33 of first cd?
Thanks for your precious work
Lukas
INCREDIBLE. Thank you so much for this, all the time and effort.

Frank as always a great great post.
Can I ask what happened to John Lennon Imagine post that appeared around dec 2019? For some reason I didn't get Vol 1-7 and having listened to 8-11 and watched 12/13 I would love to get hold of the first few.
Again many thanks! I've been chasing those mono 45s for quite a while & they sound just great!
Yes, what happened to volume 1 number 33?
@ Anon, track 33 is not missing. I can't count!
Cheers Frank...very nice comp.
Thank You! But Vol 3 # 17, "Second Ave" (at 2:53) is NOT the 45 3-10020 !!
That 45 is the ONLY way the full 3:59 of "Second Ave" (wr by Tim Moore) has ever appeared - all the album inclusions are the shorter verwsions, missing a verse. I haven't downloaded that part (#3) yet, you might have it right. But it's a great great song.
You can chek it out on YouTube:
